Where to start?!?!

~AT THE ZOO~

July 28, 2006

we took all 30 kids to Santo Domingo Zoo and to some building thing. It was a hot day and extremely stressful, but the kids loved it and made the whole thing worth it. I was in charge of Daniel and Raully. Thank goodness Raully didn't need much taking care of because Daniel would cry everytime i put him down, so i ended up carrying him all day...which i really didn't mind...i would do anything for that kid. We visited some building...i am really not sure what it was....first and then got back in the bus just in time for it to start raining and then we got lost on the way to the zoo, but by the time we finally got there the rain had stopped and we ate lunch and then went through the zoo. the hippos were my favorite! it was so incredibly hott. For all of you that know me really well, you know that i hate sweat and don't sweat very much...so this next pic shows just how hot it was...ewwww!Then we made the long three hour ride back home...Daniel slept the whole way and i sang to him....but i couldn't wait to get back home because my mom flew in at 2:30 and it was already 6 by the time we got back. needless to say i finally got to see my mom and i was so excited. the next three weeks flew by. we stayed up many nights talking and laughing. i forgot how much me and my mom are alike. it was so good to be able to share EVERYTHING with her and know that she would not judge me for a bad attitude, but would encourage me to lean on Jesus. My mom is such an amazing women of God and i hope that i can be just like her when i grow up.~July 24 - August 5, 2006

Our second to last group was four different groups ALL FROM CALIFORNIA! omg...i felt a little overwhelmed at first, but soon i was sucked into believing that California is the best state (but only 'cuz they have the biggest zoo)! it was actually a God-thing because i have been praying about attending a discipleship school out there next september, but one of my biggest things was that i don't know ANYONE from there...well, now i do and i have made a lot of really good friendships. the two girls that worked in physical thearopy at the special ed. school are amazing and so beautiful! to be honest i was a little intimidated at first, but by the end i realized just how much i loved them. they are amazing! Then there was my incrediboy ~ Bryan! he is so funny and we had a really good time together, but don't you think he looks like incrediboy off of Incredibles? ohh...i think so!
